THESIS PROPOSALBACHELOR IN ARCHITECTURE 2017

EVERY NATION HAS ITS OWN SYSTEM OF

GOVERNANCE AND EVERY SYSTEM IN SOME WAY

HAS SEPARATION OF POWER INTO EXECUTIVE,

LEGISLATURE AND JUDICIARY .

• NEPAL EXPERIENCED PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM IN 1951, AFTER THE END OF FEUDAL RANA REGIME

• THERE WAS NO PARLIAMENT BUILDING FOR ASSEMBLY FUNCTIONS THEN

• IN 1970 AD, DESIGN COMPETITION WAS HELD FOR DESIGN OF “RASTRIYA PANCHAYAT BUILDING”

• THE DESIGN OF AR. G.D.BHATTA WAS APPROVED BUT COULDNOT COMPLETE DUE TO VARIOUS SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL FACTORS

• AFTER RESTORATION OF MULTIPARTY DEMOCRACY IN 1991 AD, THE OLD RANA BUILDING WAS ADAPTIVELY REUSED TO HOLD ASSEMBLY FUNCTIONS

▪ NEPAL HAS BEEN DECLARED A FEDERAL DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC, ABOLISHING THE 240-YEAR-OLD MONARCHY SINCE MAY 28, 2008

▪ THE CONSTITUTION OF NEPAL 2015 (2072) IS THE SEVENTH CONSTITUTION OF NEPAL WHICH WAS PROCLAIMED BY THE PRESIDENT OF NEPAL ON SEPTEMBER 20, 2015 (ASOJ 3, 2072)

▪ CONSTITUTION OF NEPAL, ADOPTED ON 20 SEPTEMBER 2015, PROVIDES FOR THE DIVISION OF THE COUNTRY INTO 7 FEDERAL PROVINCES

▪ THERE ARE 31 POLITICAL PARTIES IN NEPAL

HISTORY- PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM IN NEPAL

CURRENT POLITICAL SCENERIO

“THE CHALLENGE FOR ARCHITECTURE IS TO EXPRESS THIS SUBTLE AND DYNAMIC PROCESS - THE BALANCE BETWEEN THE SEAT OF POWER AND THE SOURCE OF POWER……”- CHARLES JENCKS

CURRENTLY, THE WORK OF LEGISLATURE IS CARRIED OUT IN ICC COMPLEX (1) AND SOME BUILDINGS(ADAPTED) IN SINGHA DURBAR (2)

▪ "PARLIAMENT" GENERALLY REFERS TO A LEGISLATURE

WITHIN A DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT.

▪ A LEGISLATURE IS A DECISION-MAKING ORGANIZATION,

USUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH NATIONAL GOVERNMENT

THAT HAS THE POWER TO ENACT, AMEND AND REPEAL

LAWS.

REPRESENTATIVE AND AESTHETICALLY PLEASING.

FURTHERMORE, TO DEVELOP AN APPROPRIATE STATE

ARCHITECTURE THAT MEETS THE PEOPLE AND

FURTHER EXPLORE THE DEMOCRATIC LANGUAGE OF

PARLIAMENT AND PUBLIC SPACE TO DEVELOP AN

LANGUAGE OF PARLIAMENT AND PUBLIC SPACE.

• THE FUNCTIONS OF THIS COMPLEX NOW ARE SCATTEREDIN MANY INDIVIDUAL BUILDINGS, SO ITS NECESSARY TOINSTITUTIONALIZE THE LEGISLATURE AND ENHANCEFUNCTIONAL EFFICIENCY,

• THE EXISTING CONDITIONS OF BUILDINGS NOT ONLY ADDTO FUNCTIONAL DEFICIENCY BUT ALSO RAISES SERIOUSSECURITY ISSUES

• NEPAL, NOW HAS NEW POLITICAL STATUS, UNSIMILIAR TOPREVIOUS ONE, SO A NEW IMPROVED AND WELLDESIGNED PARLIAMENT HOUSE IS REQUIRED

▪ NATURAL LIGHT ▪ PRIVACY ▪ COMFORT

▪ BETTER FLEXIBILITY IN PLANNING WORK STATIONS. ▪ BETTER NATURAL LIGHTING AND VENTILATION. ▪ BETTER COMMUNICATION AND FLOW OF WORK. ▪ HIGHER EFFICIENCY: USABLE SPACE AS HIGH AS 80-90%OFFICE PLANNING MODULE: OFFICE LAYOUT IS OFTEN BASED ON A MODULE DERIVED WITH REFERENCE TO COMMON FURNITURE, EQUIPMENT S AND NECESSARY CLEARANCES. • FOR LARGE GENERAL OFFICES, PLANNING IS BASED UPON ONE DESK

ARE THE MINIMUM PRACTICAL OFFICE LAYOUT WITH THE WALL AND WINDOW DESIGN. A PLANNING MODULE OF 4 TO 5 FT. WORKS REASONABLY WELL FOR THIS PURPOSE.
